Synopsis
Excerpt from Medley
It generally grows to the length of six feet; and possesses no poisonous qualities. It is remarkably active, and will move very fast. They will sometimes attack a man, and wind round his legs in such a manner as to throw him down, bite him several times, and run off again. It is said to be fond of milk; that it is difficult to keep it out, when once it is accustomed to get into a cellar where milk is kept, and that it has been seen taking milk out of the same dish with children, without biting them, though they often gave it blows with their spoons upon the head, when it was too greedy, of which the annexed cut is a lively representation.
